Human Biology

/in /by

Section A

We will be discussing the functional differences between the three types of muscle tissue: Cardiac, Smooth and Skeletal.  This discussion will involve all three chapters on muscle tissue and the musculoskeletal system as we bring the concepts of muscle function together. 

1. What are the cellular differences and similarities between these three tissues? 

2. What are the functional differences between these three tissues?

3. How does their form aid in these functional differences? 

4. In your opinion what was the most complex concept about muscle function? Did you require any additional sources to understand or was there a particular resource in the course that helped you the most.

Section B

Please choose ONE of the following topics, watch the associated video and answer the associated questions. When you are done please read and comment on two other responses. 

Asthma Attacks

Visit this site (ASTHMA) to learn more about what happens during an asthma attack. What are the changes that occur inside the airways during an asthma attack?

Spirometer

Watch this video (SPIROMETRY) to learn more about lung volumes and spirometers. Explain how spirometry test results can be used to diagnose respiratory diseases or determine the effectiveness of disease treatment.

Blueblood

Watch this video (BLOOD) to see the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. Why is oxygenated blood bright red, whereas deoxygenated blood tends to be more of a red-purple color?

Section C

A number of factors can increase the risk of developing chronic kidney disease, including:

Diabetes mellitus

High blood pressure

A family history of kidney disease

African-American and other ethnic minorities

Obesity

Smoking

Older age

Having protein in the urine

Having autoimmune diseases such as lupus

Choose three of these risk factors and explain how they play a roll in chronic kidney disease

Initial Screening Criteria

/in /by

Now that you have defined your need and identified a large number of possible ways to meet that need, you’ll want to whittle that list down to a manageable size. This is the stage where you exclude options that are impractical, or unrealistic or too difficult in order to get down to a short list of options which you will examine in greater detail later.

What you want to define at this stage are the minimum requirements which the things you are examining must meet in order to be workable as a solution in your situation. In the next stage, you will define further criteria which must be met in addition to the ones you are establishing here.

In a statement of 100-150 words

  • Describe 3 criteria—3 features, functions, qualities, capabilities, etc—which any of the options you are considering must have. For each criterion, explain why it is necessary, and why not having it could be a liability.
  • Out of the range of possible options you identified in Exercise 1, pick two which meet your criteria. At this point, you want to be dealing with actual brands and models. For each one, explain how it meets the criteria.

For illustrations of how to do this, see these sample recommendation reports (curated by David McMurrey):

♦ The first 3 ¶s of Comparison of Laptop Computers

♦ The sections “Background on power supplies,” “Features required by the UPS,” and “Narrowing the Field” in Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems

♦ The first ¶ of Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems

Nurses protecting patient info – 280-300 word discussion due 08/08

/in /by

In the United States, there was a whopping 97% increase in the number of health records breached from 2010 to 2011… The number of patient records accessed in each breach has also increased substantially, from 26,968 (in 2010) to 49,394 (in 2011). Since August 2009, when the US government regulated that any breach affecting more than 500 patients be publicly disclosed, a total of 385 breaches, involving more than 19 million records, have been reported to the Department of Health and Human Services.

A large portion of those breaches, 39%, occurred because of a lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised portable electronic device—a problem that will likely only get worse as iPads, smartphones, and other gadgets become more common in hospitals. (CMAJ, 2012, p. E215). 

Consider your own experiences. Does your organization use portable electronic devices? What safeguards are in place to ensure the security of data and patient information? For this Discussion you consider ethical and security issues surrounding the protection of digital health information.

To prepare

  • Review the Learning Resources dealing with the security of digital health care information. Reflect on your own organization or one with which you are familiar, and think about how health information stored electronically is protected.
  • Consider the nurse’s responsibility to ensure the protection of patient information. What strategies can you use?
  • Reflect on ethical issues that are likely to arise with the increased access to newer, smaller, and more powerful technology tools.
  • Consider strategies that can be implemented to ensure that the use of HIT contributes to an overall culture of safety. 

Post an analysis of the nurse’s responsibility to protect patient information and the extent that HIT has made it easier or more difficult to protect patient privacy. Comment on any security or ethical issues related to the use of portable devices to store information. Assess the strategies your organization uses to safeguard patient information and how these promote a culture of safety. Describe an area where improvement is needed and one strategy that could address the situation.

Appcelerator Titanium Discussion

/in /by

Class,

Appcelerator Titanium was released in December 2008, and has been steadily growing in functionality since its release.  Starting with its Titanium Developer product, Appcelerator provides a single-point interface to run applications.  Titanium Studio is a full-featured IDE which provides a single place to handle all steps of the development environment including a debugging solution.   Titanium is not a magic bullet; however, it does include a solid framework for developing a single codebase to deploy to multiple platforms.   In addition, it allows developers to use a language they are more familiar with to create apps in a domain outside of their knowledge.

  • What are some advantages to using Appcelerator Titanium?
  • Though Appcelerator is reasonably priced, why do some mobile app developers feel that the bugs don’t make it worth the effort?.
  • How is Appcelerator different from other mobile application developers?

To participate in the Discussion, respond to the Discussion prompt by Day 3. Then, read a selection of your colleagues’ postings. Finally, respond to at least two classmates by Day 5 in one or more of the following ways:

  • Complete the Week #6 Discussion by the assigned due date.  Late assignments will not be accepted. 
  • This is a required assignment and is worth 25 points.
  • You must apply and use the basic citation styles of APA.
  • Do not claim credit for the words, ideas, and concepts of others.
  • Use in-text citation and list the reference of your supporting source following APA’s style and formatting
  • Do not copy and paste information or concepts from the Internet and claim that is your work.  It will be considered Plagiarism and you will receive a zero for your work.

Statistical Analysis in JASP TOOL

/in /by

  

This quiz will model much of what your task may be like when working on your own dissertation. You have been provided the data set in order to answer the research question below. The data set (CSV-Student_Achievement_Dataset.CSV) is a Comma-Separated-Values file. Generally, JASP opens these files nicely, but you will always want to check your rows and columns to see that nothing seems out of place. You will do a complete/full analysis with this file and provide your conclusion in APA format. Again, you should not include output in your dissertation, but for this assignment, it IS required. 

A quiz that earns full credit will include (for each research question):

1. An introductory sentence about which test(s) will be used and what indicated that it was the correct test.

2. A stated null and alternative hypothesis.

3. The output from JASP.

4. A conclusion in paragraph form that includes the decision you made, APA formatted reporting of your statistics, and a final statement about your findings as it relates to the research question. (2-3 sentences is fine)

Research Questions

1. Is there a relationship between a student’s Language Arts Scaled Score (cstlass) and a student’s Math Scaled Score (cstmss)?

2. Do males and females score differently on Language Arts Scaled Scores (cstlass)?  What about Math Scaled Scores (cstmss)?

Addressing Ambivalence Using Change Talk

/in /by

Ambivalence occurs when service users have conflicting motivations about the desired change. On one hand, the service user may see the benefits of the change. On the other hand, service users may see equal or greater benefits to maintaining the status quo.

You will determine which “flavor” of ambivalence the service user in your case study is demonstrating. Then, you will consider how to use change talk to help them move beyond their ambivalence.

To Prepare

  •  Pay particular attention to the different “flavors” of ambivalence and how to evoke change talk to help service users move beyond ambivalence.
  • Identify which flavor of ambivalence your service user is demonstrating.
  • Consider how you would evoke change talk to help the service user move beyond their ambivalence. 

By Day 4

Identify the Hart City case study you were assigned in the subject line of your post.

Post a description of which flavor of ambivalence your service user is demonstrating, and explain why. Finally, explain how you would evoke change talk to help the service user move beyond their ambivalence. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your explanation. 

HART CITY CASE STUDY

Alma

Alma is a 40-year-old woman who has just been admitted to the Hart City Substance Abuse Clinic via a court order. She had three driving under the influence (DUI) offenses in the past year. Recently, while driving under the influence, she jumped a curve and hit a pedestrian. He survived; however, he needs extensive rehabilitation. The police convicted Alma of reckless endangerment as well as drunk driving and ordered her to an inpatient facility. Alma is married with four children all under the age of 16. She is the chief executive officer (CEO) of a multinational organization. Her job requires her to travel two weeks each month. Early on, Alma and her husband decided that he would stay home and raise the children. He is also a writer, but he has yet to publish anything significant. Alma has been the sole financial provider for her family for 16 years. Alma adamantly denies that she has a substance abuse problem and does not want to stay in treatment for the required 30 days. She is hostile towards the staff and in need of an intake assessment and referral for treatment. Her family is also in need of referrals for emotional support.
